ABOUT US
NARMA Inc.
In 2018, NARMA was established as the first spin-off company from Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).
we successfully developed and launched the world’s first electric dual tilt-rotor drone, AF100.
Since then, NARMA has continued to advance BVLOS operations and next-generation tilt-rotor UAV technologies through its proprietary PXN autopilot system, enabling stable autonomous flight, precision control, and long-range mission capabilities.
